Langley society’s annual craft sale brings in big crowds

Blame It On the Rain was a smash hit 26 years ago, and while many grumble about this weekend’s soggy weather, it may have been part of the reason why the Stepping Stone Community Services Society’s annual craft fair was a huge success.

People sought shelter indoors as the raindrops tumbled down, and found some handmade bargains in the process at the annual show put at Stepping Stone on Michaud Crescent.

Proceeds are used to buy supplies for the Stepping Stone craft group, and will also go to support Stepping Stone programs.

Stepping Stone is a non-profit organization and a federal registered charity with a focus on helping people in Langley who are facing challenges such as mental illness, homelessness, risk of homelessness, and poverty.

According to Stepping Stone, its craft group meets twice a week and “provides members with opportunities to structure their time, learn and maintain skills and build confidence,” while providing a “very important social network.”
